The past few days I have been feeling very sick. I had fever and no appetite which is very uncommon especially for me. After taking medication I feel a bit better and was able to enjoy the coming of 3 new volunteers today! They all seem very nice and excited to be here. Things at the orphanage have been going well. They kids are starting to get used to me being there and I know its going to be very hard when I do have to leave them. Today I chatted with an older boy who just lost his mother and is living at the orphanage until he gets to leave to college in August. His story touched my heart and I really want to help his situation. Because he is new to the orphanage, they have not had enough time to raise enough money for him to attend college in Accra and he may not be able to go in August like he should. Listening to him talk, you know he is very well educated and just loves to learn. He actually told me today that he missed school and learning and reads in his spare time or studies while the younger children are in school. He also wants to be a doctor when he gets older and loves math and science. I definitely believe he could do it, but would really like to see his dreams become a reality and want to help to make sure that happens. Many of the other volunteers feel the same way and we are looking into how much it would be to sponsor a child academically. It just goes to show that even though these kids are placed in such difficult situations, they still have faith and hope and strive to make something of themselves. They really do inspire me. I hope that I will be able to help in this situation in some way and I am continuing to absorb all the experiences that I have come across in Ghana.
